Overview
A pointed stainless blade on a handmade walnut handle defines this Victorinox Swiss Modern chef knife, a compact forged knife sized for peeling and core removal in a home kitchen.
Reason to buy is the light, balanced feel and the handmade walnut handle on a forged blade. The limitation is length, since a short chef knife covers fewer large tasks, and hardness and edge angle are not given.
Who it's for
Home cooks with small hands or small boards get a short, light blade that maneuvers easily. Those who chop large produce or cut through thick items want a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Forged blade construction
- Handmade walnut handle
- Pointed tip for coring
- Lifetime manufacturer warranty
- Short blade for a chef knife
- Hardness and edge angle not listed
- Single knife with no sheath
Performance notes
A pointed tip and short blade let the user peel, remove cores and make controlled cuts close to the board. The walnut handle is light, so the knife feels nimble, and the forged blade adds a little heft toward the grip. Edge life depends on steel hardness, which the listing does not give.
